Beowulf, Hektor, and Achilleus represent cultures that flourished thousands of years ago. Do today’s heroes look anything like the heroes in these ancient tales?

The hero has special qualities and is called into an adventure.
The hero faces a significant battle, challenge, or obstacle.
The hero is the recipient of supernatural aid (or the victim of supernatural hindrance).

One of the most pervasive themes in Western Literature is that of blindness vs sight as a spiritual or moral allegory. Characters or figures in literature are often unable to see clearly because of some moral failure (what we Christians call sin) that impedes not physical sight, but their capacity for “seeing” reality as it truly is.
In an essay of at least 750 words (but, no more than 1200) discuss this theme of spiritual blindness in Augustine and Homer. Where do you see figures such as Augustine or characters in The Odyssey display a failure in “vision,” of seeing reality as it truly is? What causes this deficiency? What are the consequences of such “blindness” to reality? How can this impediment be remedied, if at all?
Give a review of the novel Circe, by Madeline Miller. Use two sources, one being the book itself and the second the poem, The Odyssey, translated by Emily Wilson.
Touch on the below points:
1. How successful is Miller in adapting material from the Odyssey?
2. If Miller changes materials regarding the original myth, why and how does she do so? What purpose does it serve?
3. Focus primarily on the characterization of Circe
4. To a lesser degree, some other examples of topics to discuss in the paper: Circe’s relationship with the gods and/or humans; the changing characterization of Odysseus; the characterization of ‘minor’ characters like Hermes, Pasiphae, or Jason; the nature of the gods in general as portrayed in the novel; the novel’s sense of time. You might also consider whether Miller’s understanding of Circe, Odysseus, and the Odyssey impacts how you understand those characters and the ancient text.
